[edit] More discussion, yes
I concur. Morris Dees' autobiography is a good place to start on the civil suit. But there are, as yey, no scholarly discussion of the Donald case(s). There were 5 court cases involved, so the study is complicated. The Mobile Register has covered the case admirably in the last six months as the renaming process occured. Also, Michael Wilson's five articles, June 1-5, 1997, leading up to Henry Hays' execution are also very good and re[present the most original research done on the case to date.
[edit] Bennie Hays?
The first or second sentence says "Bennie Hay's son" as though we should know who Bennie Hays is. This seems like an editing oversight, but does anyone know the significance of this Bennie Hays person? Also, this article lists Michael Donald as the last lynching in American history. The article Lynching in the United States considers the murder of James Byrd a lynching, which occurred in 1998. So I am adding a "contradicts another article" tag to this piece. --Natalie 01:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
He was a Grand Dragon in the United Klans and his middle name was Jack. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.12.252.122 (talk • contribs) 21:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
How did you find out Donald's DOB, personally I believe that the death penalty was a slight overreaction, just a personal opinion, what do you think? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.12.252.122 (talk • contribs) 22:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Respect
This article should be written with more respect for the Donald family, Michael's mother died after he got killed and with respect to the Hays family, Hays' did wrong but the fact he was executed doesn't make it any easier for his family.

[edit] Surviving Relatives
Does anyone have any information relating to the surviving members of the Donald family or Hays family?

[edit] How old was Bennie?
How old was Bennie Hays, the closest I could find on the social security death index was a guy who died in 1984 registered to Jackson, Missouri.
